  Guys I'm curious. Do RSAF pilots use any brevity codes when firing missles/bombs? Like the ones NATO pilots use.. (Fox Two/Three etc etc.) Thanks!

  dunno. but seems to be a day for the air force today.. least for tengah.... f-16s and f-5s roaring around... including at least one heavy one with wing tanks and all...

  The first rule of the RSAF is you do not talk about the RSAF.

  I honestly do not know the answer... but in radio/audio communications, it is better to say "Fox-2" then "Fired a Sidewinder at the enemy"..... so I am not surprised that the pilots and controllers routinely used certain codes for certain task...

   

  hell, I won't be surprised if there is a "NATO" code which we follow to ensure cross operativity (spelling?)....

  Last I recall, RSAF uses NATO brevity codes.  We do have a lot of exercise and training arrangements in the US.  No sense stressing your pilots to remember 2 sets of brevity codes huh?

   

  Interoperability is the order of the day.

  Take care of your eyesight if you wanna be a pilot.

  Best job "on" earth.
